I agree with this.

You have four players and each of them is playing gestalt? If a ranger/rogue is scaring you, you might want to try running normal D&D by the rules for awhile. No offense! If the party is ranger/rogue and soulknife/(something good) and paladin/bard and monk/bard and bard/bard, then you'd have...

I've played and ran both proactive and reactive games. I've enjoyed playing proactive, but my reactive DM I had stunk and stunk bad. I've had my best fun running proactive, but I've had consistent fun when I ran reactive games. "Beat the dungeon" is fun, fun, fun. And honestly, I mean no...

I tend to take a break or nix the campaign or change something significantly after having an off session.

Flavor. I liked psionics in the Dark Sun computer games, and when I started playing formal D&D w/ 3e I really liked psionics. The mechanics were pretty bad but I still used them and liked them, until the XPH, when even the mechanics are great now. (Although some stuff is still a little...

I'll just say it. Sepulchrave's story hour shows what epic gaming should be. Aside from that -- I'm not really sure what epic gaming in the sense you mean it as should be. I've ran it twice, and I liked it, but it was just sort of a novelty to me. Fun, but, a novelty.

My gut reaction is "egads, no!" to TWF w/ spiked armor. :) Could TWF w/ shield/spikes if weapon got disarmed, though. It's not really broken or anything, but I'm pretty sure it's not allowed by the raw.

Here, here. Just keep looking. Have you tried inviting your quasi-jock friends to play? Some of them might enjoy it, although if they're competitive, they might enjoy a specific style of play -- which might be great! If they're all not into it, that's fine. Just keep looking. Did you know...

Self-preserving. (My current character knows he's going straight to hell for an eternity of torment as soon as he dies, so he's doing everything he can do to avoid death! He's an adventurer out of circumstance, not choice, of course!)

I played an elf who was an old sage, but I forget if they were in the first or second age category. Didn't get to play very long, but I liked the character... walked with a limp in robes and carried a quarterstaff as a walking stick -- but in combat tumbled everywhere and used the staff w/...

My groups and I (emphasis on the I) put together are not mature enough to put homosexual PCs or NPCs into a game responsibly. There, I said it! I'm not a mature gamer! Woo! I'm not being sarcastic or rude, either. It's just true. I don't want to put lesbian characters into games because I...

Plot idea: Run some miniquests based on the town where the sheriff was killed. Get the characters attached to the town, defend it from bandits, get one of them married if you can. Then, the whole world turns into zombies, and it's a fight for survival ala Dawn of the Dead or somesuch...

I'm not that fond of it at all. I ring of "you find 360 gold pieces, 200 silver pieces, two identical ruby rings, a small opal, and a ceramic doll that looks just like you with a message in it" feels better to me than "you find some coins, two identical ruby rings, a small opal, and a ceramic...

With a group that size, if you're having trouble with more time being spent socializing than playing the game, consider a "feed the pig 25 cents for every out of character comment." This works for some groups. I don't think it would work for groups I'm in... although, my groups tend to be more...

My DM stunk and I thought I could do better. (nice statement) I recognize now it's just a difference in style. (mean statement) I recognize now that his style was just stupid!! :)

There's undead about, right? Grab a normal mace for the skeletons. :) Also if there's undead, using undead turning attempts to channel your healing might have some negative consequences, but, with double your normal turning attempts from being cleric/paladin, you're probably fine.

If this existed, I would buy less stuff. Just the simple truth.

An "epic campaign" to me means "a campaign where the player characters go about saving the world." It could also mean destroying the world, or fundamentally changing the world, but on a very large scale. Something permanent. That's what I mean when I say it myself.

You might wanna try the rules forums if you get any funkier questions than this, although, the rules forum is more nitty-gritty stuff than this. But heck, you've been around, you know these things, this is prolly the best place! Wizards are somewhat limited in how much it costs to buy more...

I've both played and GM'd in a few games that did this. I like it. A lot! Especially in a short one on one game I ran about a similar village of elves... ran through seven scenes or so that showcased how the character grew up, what her disposition was, who in the town was her friend, who was...
